Modified anatrophic nephrolithotomy
Urology, 1983The anatrophic nephrolithotomy described by Smith and Boyce is an excellent method of preserving a maximum number of functioning nephrons by minimizing injuries to both the renal parenchyma and its blood supplies. However, clamping of the main renal artery is inevitable and may damage renal function despite regional hypothermia.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the elderly
Urology, 1994To evaluate the success and morbidity of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) performed in patients aged 65 years and older.A retrospective review of 42 PNLs performed on 33 patients aged 65 years and older was compared with a cohort of 160 PNLs performed on younger patients over the same time period.The presence of complete staghorn calculi (17 of 36 ...

1985
Percutaneous removal of renal and ureteral stones was attempted in 19 cases through an operatively established nephrostomy tract and in 181 cases after primary percutaneous puncture. In the latter group failure of the technique or residual stones required surgical intervention in 15 cases. The residual stone rate was 9/19 and 13/168.

Complications in percutaneous nephrolithotomy
World Journal of Urology, 2014Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is generally considered a safe technique offering the highest stone-free rates after the first treatment as compared to the other minimal invasive lithotripsy techniques. Still, serious complications although rare should be expected following this percutaneous procedure.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy has proved to be a cost-effective, safe and expeditious means of renal calculus removal since its introduction in the late 1970s. The inherent risks and complications of this procedure have been well documented but less common complications continue to surface as case selection becomes increasingly more difficult. We report

Positioning for percutaneous nephrolithotomy
Current Opinion in Urology, 2016To highlight the progressive evolution of the issue of patient positioning for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL), explain the history of the prone and supine positions, report respective advantages and drawbacks, critically interpret the past and current literature supporting such arguments, identify the best candidates for each position, and reflect ...

Purpose: Postoperative infectious related complications are not uncommon after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Previously, we noted that 7 days of antibiotics did not decrease sepsis rates compared to just perioperative antibiotics in a low risk ...

Aim: We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPNL) and standard PNL (sPNL) in a group of patients who had a history of PNL and/or open renal surgery (secondary patients). Materials and Methods: The study included

Complications in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
European Urology, 2007This review focuses on a step-by-step approach to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) and its complications and management.Based on institutional and personal experience with >1000 patients treated by PNL, we reviewed the literature (Pubmed search) focusing on technique, type, and incidence of complications of the procedure.Complications during or after
